Industry Experts released the 2017 version of its global report on In Vitro Diagnostics market. The new report titled ‘In Vitro Diagnostics – A Global Market Overview’ analyzes the global market of In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) by geographic region, major country and prominent IVD technologies while special citation on end-use sectors in the United States and German markets. Clinical Chemistry is estimated to be the principal technology segment in the global IVD market cornering a market of $19.7 billion in 2017.

The In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) industry is being positively impacted due to several factors that include rising global and regional trends of aging populations, growth in non-communicable diseases and greater affordability for treatment. Due to an increase in healthcare costs, greater weight is being given to evidence-based medicine with the aim of improving patient outcomes. The need for diagnostic devices in various conditions has been growing due to an aging population, growing epidemic of chronic diseases and (re)emergence of infectious diseases. A larger number of people are now gaining access to IVD due to growth in emerging countries and an impetus towards decentralized healthcare.

Nearly 68% of the global aged population resides in the developing economies and their population is increasing at a faster rate than that of developed regions. In fact, the population of aged individuals in developed economies has been exhibiting a declining trend, as can be seen from a fall of 38% in 2000 to 33% in 2015, which is likely to continue. This implies that the number of older people in the developing regions will grow over the coming decades.

Global IVD market grew from $55.8 billion in 2014 to US$62.6 billion in 2017 and the market is further expected to reach US$83.03 billion by 2022. Molecular Diagnostics is projected to record the fastest growing IVD technology segment with a CAGR of around 8% during 2017-2022 analysis period and to touch US$10.5 billion by 2022.
